Just checking to see if anyone in our truck community has been cited for excessively loud exhaust. Seems like they are mostly targeting imports and domestic sport cars.

In CA...nothing would surprise me. I dont even know what TX laws are. I am sure there is something. But unless you are super loud...they probably wont bother you here.

Edit:

Hmmm...found this for TX...though not from an official state site:

Decibel Rule
Unlike other states that enforce a decibel limit on the noise produced by exhaust systems, Texas does not have a decibel law. However, the Texas Transporation Code states: "A motor vehicle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working condition that continually operates to prevent excessive or unusual noise."

I could imagine everbody is targeted.. mainly JDM´s but with a modded Truck you still will be sticking out. $1000 fine is not a joke

Just need to get under that 95dB threshold. Will be adding 3 resonators to my GM Borla :lol:

Isn't it for 6000lb vehicles and under?

curb or gvwr?

 

[Walkers]

From what I have seen here, it is mostly motorcycles that are targeted. Next up are fart pipes on imports. So long as you have a muffler and are reasonable then there should be no problem.

Gwvr I believe.

Yes for GVWR 6000 and under but local LEOs around here feel the need to be fair and seem to hassle everyone.

that's when you show them your weight sticker and then carry on.

The only reason you would get cited in a large city for something like that as there way too busy... in smaller towns it's cause they got nuthin better to do.

It's by GVWR, so you qualify. Congratulations.

With the new Gov you all elected you have a lot more to worry about than loud pipes.

It is good to see that some states are beginning to crack down on annoying vehicles. I had a neighbor who would rev up his motorcycle every morning. "Loud pipes save lives." Um, no. Loud pipes annoy the crap out of everybody causing them drive more aggressively and making it more dangerous for you....

 

[SierraHarley]

Loud pipes don't annoy everybody, they don't bother me. Just depends on how thick the candy shell on your ass is.
My Harley is loud but I don't sit there and rev it up, that is annoying. Your issue should be with the dumb ass neighbor.
Loud pipes actually can save lives. It has saved mine at least twice. A car tried to get over in my lane and a couple of good revs on the throttle stopped him cold. My pipes are louder than the horn when revved up.

 

[cfesting]

Seems like you need a better horn.

 

[ferraiolo1]

Loud pipes don't save lives. Leaning how to ride defensively does. By the time you pull in your clutch, and rev your loud pipes at a car about do do something stupid, you could have just sped away from the situation or applied both brakes.

But what ever makes Harley riders fee good
